With the score tied at 1-1 (in a 6 medal game), my opponent played TFH on his 4th turn. But his 5d roll produced no orders. Right after that he stated "thank you for the game" and left so that the bot took over. I thought something sudden had come up and it was perhaps the reason he left. I played the game out against the bot and "won".

I then reentered the lobby and there is my former opponent as if he was waiting to play another game. I questioned his leaving our game and his presence in the lobby and then he disappeared. I was surprised by his actions considering he had over 300 games to his credit. Later when I went to post the results and enter his ID, it came back as not found. I went to my officer page and found he had changed the ID he had when playing me to a rather ironic one

I guess if you play long enough you will have folks quit on you out of the blue. It is not always intentional, as I myself have had a power outage kick me off only to come back to find I lost a game I was leading in.

In your particular case, the name your opponent chose as his/her moniker is not one that would entice me to play against him/her.

Right-I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but his actions after the fact made it appear the reason his stepped off was his empty TFH.

Although, now that I think about it, I wonder how much of that is due to his 'bailing' whenever he's losing?

Yes, I noted his skill level too. I am not sure the effect of leaving a game has one a player's skill level(if any?). I know it affects his honor. Of course with the number of games he has played, it may take a while to impact that.

The other thing was that in the short time I went to my officer page(to help record the AAR) he had played 2 other games to completion against 2 other players. So I know no time element was involved in his decision to leave my game.

The funny part was he left when the game was very much in doubt. I think sometimes players look at their and and do not realize the other player may be holding weak cards too.

I think the best players play on and make the best of a bad situation. I try to follow that example.
